As described in the document, coordination of research across NEHI participating agencies from FY 2009-FY 2012 has enabled significant progress towards:

Development of measurement tools that consider the full life cycles of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs)

Collection of exposure assessment data and resources for workplace exposure control strategies

Enhanced understanding of interactions between ENMs and biological systems

Improved assessment of transport and transformations of ENMs

Development of principles for establishing robust risk assessment and risk management practices for ENMs and nanotechnology-enabled products

Improved approaches for identifying, characterizing, and communicating risks to all stakeholders

Coordination of efforts to enhance data quality, modeling, and simulation capabilities for nanotechnology

The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) will be hosting a webinar to highlight the release of this document, describe key advances, and answer questions from stakeholders and the public on the contents of the report. Details will be provided when available on Nano.gov.
